Back

You are here

At OAK Orthopedics, our specialty-trained back doctors are the leading experts in assessing, diagnosing, and treating back injuries and conditions.

Back pain can be caused by a wide array of issues involving the vertebrae. However, the vast majority of back pain symptoms are caused by inflammation due to either overuse or acute injury.

Practicing proper posture and lifting techniques can help to preserve your back health and significantly reduce your risk for sustaining a back injury, such as a fracture, herniated disc, or strained muscle.

Unfortunately, not all causes of back pain are as easily preventable. Pain can also arise from a chronic or progressive condition, such as degenerative disc disease, or from injuries that may occur spontaneously, such as a herniated disc.

Because back pain often only worsens when left untreated, it is imperative that you seek immediate treatment from a back specialist if you are experiencing any of the following symptoms of back pain:

Radiating pain from the neck to the arm/hand

Radiating pain from the back to the leg/foot

Back, leg, or foot pain that worsens while standing or walking and is relieved by sitting

Nagging pain after episodes of heavy lifting

Numbness, tingling, or weakness in the arms or legs

Nerve or dexterity issues in the arms and hands
